Simple Circuit MPPT (maximum power point tracker) for photovoltaic arrays - A new technique is presented for tracking the maximum power point (MPP) of solar arrays. Although the control circuit is extremely simple and robust, its Dynamics are complex. The MPP becomes inherently the global attractor of the system, thus ensuring optimum operation under transient and steady-state conditions. Experimental results confirm excellent tracking effectiveness and rapid dynamic response. __ Designed by Yan Hong Lim and D.C. Hamill
